Throne of Skulls July - Pic Heavy Thread

[warsmith]

Hi everone

During the weekend there I attend the Throne of Skulls July tournament down in Nottingham. Just with a cousin out side of Nottingham having a wedding, family going down to met up, speand a few days catch up & I was ask if I wanted to go down with Warhammer World & have this as a summer holiday for me.

Anyway was another great weekend, new event team have been working really hard since Nov ToS bring us ton of great event. Those who went on the trip on Tue know how great it was.

Fought some really tigh games where it could have went ether way with one single dice roll really.

Few new thing where added due to idea led up to ToS, keep people on there toe





















Eddie won with his brillaint Tau army. I vote for Eddie. Just Tau & Necrons IMO are one of those armies you rarely see many conversion. But Eddie got some nice conversion done & it nicely theme on Transformer, see if you can guess which is which





































The drone come across like the once from Star wars just with the Necrons legs & the pose.

Glen from Aberdeen was also up for army nominee with his Daemons he use during Rapid Fire 2009?

My Space Wolves will be going to ELG Counter Attack, ToS October & Rapid Fire.

I will be aim to make a brand new Iron Warriors army for ToS April next year to mark ten year of collecting & ten year of attending tournaments. Also new IW will be due to getting ready for the new Ed of Warhammer 40k as rumour say. But also because I use old inks, if I run out I am screw, so move over to wash where if I run out, I can go to GW Falkirk by train.

Again a great weekend & really enjoy all games as all of them where really close. A lot of people commented to me & my oppent in round 4. Just commented how focuse we both where on that game, how tigh the game look when they watch & how it keep going back & forth to the very last turn.

Same with Round 3 my oppent friends where watch & saying how close it was. The thanks me for the game & he was also up for army nominee for his Guards, when going on stage said thanks & we both said well done on Army nominee.

GW report should be up soon with our photos. I was shove that front as Glen & the other said I am smaller person out of the whole lot

Really looking forward to ToS October now. I really looking forward to adding my Long Fangs.

Got a lot of commentes on my Space Wolves during army nominee. Lot of people like the dark grey, the object marker & Viking runes & all the detail on the conversion.

Also some cool moments in games

Two Grey Hunter charge to make there end worth of a saga. Power Weapon Grey Hunter got killed.
Mark of the Wulfen made 18 armour save, killed 6 Death Guards with rending in three phase of Combat before being take down by a lone Nurgle Champion with power fist who failed in two phase of combat to kill him.













Duffy favrout Wolf Guard take on the odds, made 7 armour save in one phase combat on him alone. About 9 in total in two phase of combat before he got a power fist.











Round 2















Round 4 vs Daemons, some photos take by oppent with my camera.

Can't believe someone is still using the 2nd edition Ork models. Haha!

[bensaunders]

Yeah, classic 2nd edition orks - takes me back. They're not as bad as the tactical marines, imho.

Great pictures there Jamie, but could you flag the post up as picture heavy in the title? I just downloaded all of that on dial-up and it took a while...

Sorry Ben, never knew dail up was still in use to be honsty & there not much space on the heading to put the waring.

But I'll bare this in mind for the future. Just added these photos for those who cba (can't be bother) check out the link & just some great stuff happen during the weekend. Or in the Tau case due to the type of fourm I am mod, I am not allowed to post the photos of the Tau army unless I fought it in game. As Bolter & Chainsword purely focuse on power armour armies like Marines, Chaos, Grey Knights & sister of battles.

Aye this was pretty much my comment to my first oppent. He also saying how he use the old multi part Goblins before they got updated to the current range. Dose bring back the old days.

Hopeful be a few more updates on TOS July, few people are getting there report ready & the pod cast overlords are putting vidoe's up on youtube.
GW report should hopeful be up over the next few weeks.

On another note, my Space Wolves will now be playing 1750pts to get ready for
- ELG Counter Attack
- Throne of Skulls October
- Stirling Wargaming Rapid Fire

Hi Graham

Cool, what tournament is it & what are you running in your Black Templars force??
Also are you attend Rapid Fire this year?

Long Fangs, yes they been doing really well in games so far ;D Even the token Heavy Bolter Long Fang being doing a lot of damnge in game.
He'll never be weaste thanks to the Long Fangs split fire rule as well. So while Launcher take care of tanks, the Heavy Bolter Long Fang can fire away that troop units or lighter tanks.

Also happy with the conversion & mean I am not having to carry extra boxies or bags when going to tournaments or games in store/club.

So right now happy & for the fire support they give my force. Just want a game where I have not rolled for a spearhead set up Would like a Dawn of War set up with Kill Point mission for once.

Should be in Nottingham on the Fri 14th around 2pm, day before Throne of Skulls October if your wanting to get a game in. Also ment to be battle my friend Demetris Tampakoudis from Greece a game on the Fri as well, then try catch up with other.

Good luck with the tournament & let me know how it gose for your Black Templars.

[warsmith]

Sound cool Graham.

Sure I'll give you a game on the Fri before ToS. One of my Greek friends is also up for a game against myself. Like ToS April I just want to get as many games as possible during the Fri night before the event & catch up with a lot of my friends.
